AG has been one of my go-to brands for the past few years, and there is only one reason why: they're one of the top contemporary lifestyle brands that always make it so simple to put together a chic, yet effortless outfit! If you've been following me for a while, you'll know I am a sucker for a well put-together look; I love to look presentable always, even if my only outing of the day is just to pick up packages at my p.o. box! The black jeans I chose here are just right for my height; at 5'2, these cropped ones are the ideal choice to pair with any kind of shoe and still portray a "longer leg" (always a good thing)! Oh, and the perfect, classy tee? Also by AG! The burgundy color is amazing, and the fit is spectacular. I love how good it looks once the whole look comes together, proof that you don't need to spend a fortune to elevate your style whenever you want! Everything really is all in the details. Dress it up with a coat and platform boots for colder weather, or a moto jacket and some white sneakers for a more casual vibe. Other ideas on how to wear these cropped jeans? Under a dress, both mini or maxi, an oversized sweater, or even with a bodysuit! All of the possibilities are endless when you shop with AG!

*THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY SEPHORA INSIDE JCPENNEY*Hey guys! Can you believe it's nearly the end of 2018?! As we say every year, seriously cannot comprehend how the year just flew by! But now it is time to get into full-on holiday spirit, because if you haven't started decorating your house for Christmas, then perhaps you should start crossing off items off your holiday wishlist for you and everyone in your family instead!

When I stepped into #SephoraInJCP this past weekend, aside from the blasting holiday music, I noticed right away that they had SO many amazing "gift suite" spots throughout the store, including from their very own Sephora Collection (which you will get a glimpse of later!), cute little sets from Too Faced, Fenty Beauty, heck, even Fresh got into the holidays with their Soy Cleansers built into a cute little ornament box to hang on your trees! It may sound a bit selfish, but I started with my own list (hehe), things I wanted to spoil myself with, and who knows, if I loved an item so much, I could buy the same thing for someone else!

So back to the fragrances I went, where I was on a mission: to get my hands on the Giorgio Armani'Si Passione' perfume. I knew it came in a red box, but I was freaking out because I was seeing all of the other 'Si' scents, but not the one I wanted. I asked one of the Product Specialists and she right away dropped what she was doing to come help me, and of course, she mentioned everything they had in stock was on the shelves (breaking my heart a little), until she started opening one of their restock drawers one by one, until she opened the farthest one from the perfume section, and on top of it was a bright little red box. SO LUCKY, RIGHT?! I thanked her, dropped it in my Sephora inside JCPenney shopping basket, and walked around.

Next, I had seen that Too Faced came out with a little something called, "Dream Queen Limited-Edition Makeup Collection", which featured not only a palette in shape of a book with 24 eyeshadows, but also \ four face powders (highlighter, two blushes, and a bronzer shade!), a cute fold-over makeup pouch, one of their "Better Than Sex" mascaras, a tube of their Dreamy Lips Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Shade Pink Swan, and a travel-size Hangover Spray...uhhhh can I say what a freakin STEAL that is for $58?! Grabbed one of those, and on to the next item on my list: the Sephora Favorites Make Up Must-Haves.

This cute in-store exclusive set, all arranged in a cute little pink, glittery pouch, is perfect for those who want to experiment with a bit of each category (it IS a "sampler", after all!); everything you need for a full-face look! It features a full-size Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Lipstick in Buff, full-size Huda Beauty lashes, Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Mini Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick in Starstruck, Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Gel Eye Crayon in Blacquer, Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush, tarte Rainforest of the Sea 4-in-1 setting mist in Paaarty, Urban Decay Perversion Mascara in Back, and Too Faced Primed & Peachy Primer. What a mouthful! But you definitely can't go wrong with this one!
